Silas looked at the two men and felt his anger rise. No one had ever challenged him before and lived. No one. “Do you know who the fuck I am?” He growled. His deep voice low and cold, making the men share looks. “Silas. Please don't be angry or we might all be in danger.” Joyce pleaded while glaring at the men who looked like they were about to pee their pants. ‘Useless fools! How can they be so easily intimidated?’ Joyce fumed.“You may be the most powerful man in the country but we call the shots here. So cooperate and you get to save one woman!” One of the men sneered, trying to sound threatening. “Well you'll find out what exactly I'm capable of in whatever room I'm in.” He growled, taking a menacing approach towards them. The four men exchanged looks. They were tall and good fighters but hitting a man like Silas wasn't something they signed up for. The consequences were too high for them to bear. Seeing her plan almost falling apart, Joyce cried out, “Silas… please,” she ch

How could they not even care or try to ask her what happened. How could they believe anything Joyce spat out without a hint of doubt. They had no idea how much she had to bleed to just cut the ropes. They dug into her skin, but she pushed on and managed to hide behind a concrete door just when the bomb went off. But even that wasn't enough to keep her safe seeing how much pain she was in.Dahlia was an artist. Her hands were precious, and now she had no idea if she would be able to paint ever again. Silas stepped forward and shielded her, then said,“She’s bleeding,” he looked at his father, “I need to rush her to the hospital.”Joyce couldn't believe what she was seeing. This was not how she foresaw the turnout, and seeing Silas protect Dahlia made her even more angry. She ground her teeth as she watched Silas bend over and lift Dahlia.He carried her easily despite the way she stiffened in his arms, but this time, she didn’t fight him. Not because she forgave him but because her bo

“Dahlia, this is a big decision. Are you sure about it?” Ava asked as she and Lena watched her carefully. After doctors had stabilized her and Silas left, the two women walked in and found her discussing the possibility of abortion. “Yes I'm sure. How can I have a child with a man I'm about to leave? When we divorce, I don't want any ties to him at all! This wasn't supposed to happen. I wasn't supposed to get pregnant.” Dahlia said, feeling so emotional and helpless in this situation. Lena leaned forward and held her sister's hand, her eyes softening as she gave her a small smile, “It was going to happen because you loved him. It's just unfortunate that it had to happen during this time. But D, this child is not only a symbol of the bad marriage you had. It's also a symbol of the love that you shared. If you still don't wanna have it, I support you 100%. But I don't want you to do it out of spite and regret it later. Do it because that's what you truly want.”The words Lena spoke pi

“Of course I am. What kind of stupid question is that? Don't I give you everything you could ever dream of?” Silas responded, his tone showing how irritated he was. Dahlia laughed, “So to you, being a good husband is basically throwing money around?”Silas watched her from his side before focusing on the road once again, “Isn't that why you married me? You had no problem spending my money and being happy doing so. What is it that you want now?” Dahlia was taken aback. She couldn't believe that's all he thought she was. A gold digger who didn't care about anything else other than money. Seeing the hurt look on her face, Silas drove the car to the side road and parked it, then turned to face her, “Look, babe. I don't want to fight anymore. Let's just start over and be happy. Let's keep the baby so we can start our own family.”Dahlia watched him, and whenever he spoke, it sounded like noise in her ears. It was too late to start over, too late to have their family and too crowded to be

‘Even before Joyce?’ Dahlia scoffed internally. Even he didn't mention her because he knew Joyce was always the first in his life. The one he truly loved. The irony of his words made her smile, but Silas took that as her acceptance. The smile seemed to relieve him more than anything else had that day.He reached for her hand carefully, mindful of the bandages, and said,“I’m serious, Dahlia. We’ll rebuild our marriage. Our child will be happy.”Our child? Dahlia laughed internally. There was no way she would let Silas anywhere near the child. By the time she gave birth, she would be long gone. ‘Knowing I left him and took the child would drive him crazy is something I'm not sure of.’ Dahlia thought. Maybe his ego would be bruised and his reputation tainted. That was enough for her because she knew how much Silas loved control.She was about to speak when the vibration of a phone cut her off. Silas frowned at the interruption but still pulled out his phone.He slid right to answe
